What the HELL is the point of making a PICKUP TRUCK mid-engined?

*smacks head against wall*

Ok, ok....i accept your reality. That's a unique idea.

LOL - In all reality, I'd do this if you're getting a Ranger.

- Do not waste your time with anything less than the 4-liter (the 4 cylinder and 3.0's are CRAP
- Camburg's Long travel complete A-arm system with Sway-A-Way coilover shocks/coils with keepers
- Partial engine cage/shock hoop
- Deaver long travel leaf springs + Sway-A-Way bypass 2.5" shocks
- Camburg's bedcage
- 5 15x8 wheels and 33" BFG Baja T/A tires
- 4 Beard Limit straps
- Sway-A-Way Air bump stops + Camburg's cinch mounts
- Glassworks Unlimited Fenders + Bedsides (possible hood)
- Hella Lights
- Relocate fuel tank to behind cab, centered location
- Any fab shop can bust out a pushbar/skidplate for a couple hundred bucks.

This will give you a considerable pricedrop, and be more than adequate + still be street legal.
If you're gonna spend 6 figures on a truck, a Ranger is a waste of time. Silverado/Sierra is a much better platform (F-150 if you MUST) =]

I had a ranger some years back, I sold it though. Currently i've just been fucking around with a Jeep Cherokee that I picked up about a month ago. I thought I would try my hand at metalwork as well, seeing as ive been welding since I was in grade school.

I just helped my cousin and a bunch of his friends revamp a 98 silverado. It was a sweet truck until we rolled it down a sand dune and totaled it.

If you have patience, I'd invest in a compressor and TIG welder, body saw, grinder, and a tube bender/dies.

My shop netted over 400k/year, but making deadlines can be stressful. I sold my truck in January to Lucky Sperm racing, and am now chopping a '54 Chevy. I don't make it to Glamis/Gorman/Ocotillo Wells much anymore, anyway.

I'm glad to see there are other guys here into serious offroading.

Buy a cheap second-hand Hummer and do it up to look like this

https://www.panzerbaer.de/helper/pix/us_hmmwv_M1097_specops-001.jpg

Do up its engine and brakes, steering, suspension and so on.

I have found a bright yellow 20 year old Hummer for £20,000 before in a car magazine, but it was made in like 1987 lol. Still if anyone tries to jack me I'll pop the smoke dischargers (I've added those ) and open up with the fifty, then drive over someones car to escape, such the plan
